Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert

This is a dark, dark, dark film, focused on an obsession so complete and lonely it shuts out all other human experience. You may not savor it, but you will not stop watching it, in horror and fascination.

Weaves a sensual spell of extraordinary delicacy, then sustains it -- up to a point.
